i’m trying to avoid someone else’s drama, despite being pulled in against my will. i’m trying to stay my own ground, keep truckin’, keep my head and my heart straight. i’m trying to stay awake and alert. i’m trying to help, but not take over. i’m trying to be good. i’m trying to clean things and organize things and get things settled from the inside out. it’s all taking awhile, and last night and this morning brought further shades of that drama. [insert melodramatic sigh here.]

when i was playing with the baby this morning, i found a card had fallen off my bulletin board and landed at my feet. this card, which i hand-wrote several years ago, lists the four agreements:

- Be Impeccable With Your Word.
- Don’t Take Anything Personally.
- Don’t Make Assumptions.
- Always Do Your Best.

…i needed those today, if only to remind me i really am on the right track.

hope your day is easy-peasy, my friends. be gentle with yourself. xoxo
